But if the energy saving feature of my printer takes the printer down and the computer reboots (after a power outage for example), the printer is not detected at reboot, the scanner then takes ugen0. The permissions are then wrong and the print spool points to the scanner device. Until I find a better solution, my workaround is to shut both devices and reconnect them in order.

What you _can_ do is to use one of the scripts provided in /usr/share/examples/rconfig that we ship. hammer.sh is for a normal install, so I'd use that. Note that it assumes you want to install DragonFly to the whole disk. Just boot the CD/IMG and login as root and copy one of the scripts to your home directory. Then edit it, supplying your disk name at the top. Also make sure that you change all instances of 'fdisk' to 'fdisk -C' (as mentioned in the issue #989). Once you've reviewed your changes, run the script (beware, it's a csh script, even though it's named '.sh'; yes I know it's silly...) and cross your fingers. :) If the issue is what is described in the bug report, you should have a system that boots.

Could somebody please shortly explain me the reasons for which warnings are treated as errors by default and give some advice on whether I should stick to such mode or not necessarily? It is to catch regressions and things that need fixing. If buildkernel fails on a warning-turned-error after changing the config it is worth reporting in all cases. Another different thing is changing GCC's flags (like, using -O2 instead of -O). This often introduces new warnings which we haven't cleaned our source for (and also don't always want to). This is where you are on your own and (like Chris said) have to expect breakage from -Werror (which can be worked around with NO_WERROR). Sascha
arcmsr(4) changed to use MSI if supported

HEADS UP: package compilation might get bumpy due to crypt.h's removal on Oct 30, 2011
Dear user base, the story so far: Back in December 2010, we started installing crypt.h to /usr/include due to some misunderstanding on KDE's side regarding how to detect that KDE shall be linked to libcrypt (see https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=247627 for the whole story). It turned out later that this was wrong (and it was also promptly fixed in KDE). On BSDs, crypt.h is an internal header for usage by libcrypt, but none that any consumer of it should need, since the relevant prototypes are all in unistd.h. I assume that crypt.h has other contents on (some) non-BSD systems. As the presence of crypt.h in /usr/include caused other packages to crash (at least dircproxy was affected), I restored the old behavior recently (which is, don't install crypt.h) and removed it again via make upgrade. Now the important catch: It turns out that if certain packages were compiled/installed during the time window when crypt.h was on the system, (I know of perl and apr, but there might be more), they would keep this configuration (that crypt.h is present) in various ways. Perl, for example, will put an inclusion of crypt.h in its own headers (which get installed). apr will also carry this configuration to stuff that depends on it, for example www/apache22. The consequence is that package compilation on systems that no longer have crypt.h might fail with errors complaining about not finding crypt.h if not all packages are recompiled. Like I said, it at least affects perl and apr, _so if some package depending on perl or apr fails for you with a crypt.h not found error, please recompile perl or apr_. It should compile again after doing that. Sorry for the inconvenience, as I didn't know the configuration is rooted so deeply in some packages. Best regards, Sascha Wildner

HEADS UP: ndis(4) updated, please test
Hello, I just pushed an upgrade of ndis(4) and have this to say about it: First of all, be warned that USB adapter support is unstable, which means, it might attach, it might even ifconfig up or something similar but will likely panic on either. But I plan to look into that. PCI adapters (and maybe PC Card adapters), on the other hand, work like a charm (at least those four which Max Herrgard and I tested), if (and most likely only if) you turn off ioapic via loader.conf: hw.ioapic_enable=0. As I wrote in the commit message, I don't know why this is so, and it is kinda hard to debug because the symptom is that the box will freeze completely after a short while without doing so. This was observed on two different boxes with all cards tested. That said, if you are still interested, here are some instructions to get you started: * You'll need to upgrade world and kernel to current master. * You'll need the Windows drivers for the card, obviously. Actually, Windows XP drivers (either 32 bit or 64 bit, depending on your DragonFly architecture). Server 2003 drivers might work but it is not tested. Specifically, you will need the .sys and .inf files for the card. You'll also need firmware files if they are needed for the card (ending in .bin). Check the CD-ROM that came with the card or look on the net. You might find that they come as a .cab or .exe file. In this case cabextract or unshield from pkgsrc might help to extract them. Also, 7zip is sometimes able to extract those files. Another Windows program that has shown good results is the Universal Extractor. If all that fails, please mail me or poke me on the #dragonflybsd IRC channel on EFNet and we might be able to figure it out (I might have it already or we can install it in a VM and locate the files, for example). Getting hold of the drivers can sometimes be the most difficult part of getting going with ndis(4). * Once you have the files, run ndisgen foo.inf foo.sys on them (replace foo accordingly). ndisgen(8) is an interactive script. Follow the instructions, remember to specify the firmware files too (if needed) and if all goes well, it will compile the driver/firmware module(s) for you. Sometimes it will error on a specific line of the .inf file. Go and check that line in the editor. Errors can have various reasons. Sometimes it's a missing newline at the end of the file's last line, sometimes a missing semicolon, sometimes something else. If you can't figure out what to fix, again, mail me or contact me in IRC, or here. * After a successful run of ndisgen you'll find one or more .ko files in the current dir. Move the one named *_sys.ko to /boot/kernel and move any remaining *.ko files (should be there if there was firmware to convert) to /compat/ndis. Now you are ready to use the driver the usual way. kldload it, set up the wlan and test. For example, given a valid wpa_supplicant config, the following might work: In /boot/loader.conf: foo_sys_load=yes #replace foo with your module name In /etc/rc.conf: wlans_ndis0=wlan0 ifconfig_wlan0=up DHCP WPA It might be wise to first load the module manually and play with it a little bit. If all attaches and sets up properly, you will very likely notice that the box will freeze after a while. If this happens (and I've never seen it not happening), add hw.ioapic_enable=0 to /boot/loader.conf. The card should then work. In any case: I'm interested in all results you people have with it. Have fun, Sascha

HEADS UP: Some old ISA drivers were removed, kernel config might need adjustment
Hello all,
I just removed a number of old ISA specific drivers and programs:
Drivers:
aha(4), asc(4), ctx, dgb(4), el(4), gpib, gsc(4), ie(4), labpc(4), le(4),
mse(4), rc(4), rdp(4), spigot, tw(4), wl(4), wt(4)
Programs:
sasc(1), sgsc(1), wlconfig(8), xten(1), xtend(8)
See the commit message for more details:
http://gitweb.dragonflybsd.org/dragonfly.git/commit/ad9f8794f2f018b4187756bfd362eed57d8498ea
Note that two of those drivers were in GENERIC, aha(4) and ie(4), and one
was in X86_64_GENERIC (aha(4)).
So if you have a kernel configuration derived from {,X86_64_}GENERIC and
want to update to master, you will have to remove them (buildkernel will
complain and tell you about it).
Also note that in the (very unlikely, I think) case you are actually using
one of these drivers, please speak up!
If it is important to you, we can always undo changes selectively.
Best regards,

Dear Userbase, thanks to sephe's great work in the recent weeks, SMP kernels should boot and work on UP boxes. So I've added 'options SMP' to our default GENERIC and X86_64_GENERIC kernel configs. There are people who are using the vanilla GENERIC or X86_64_GENERIC config from /usr/src/sys/config (opposed to deriving a customized local config from it), hence this heads up to notify you that after upgrading to commit e93ca50a, your kernel will be built with 'options SMP'. There should not be any issues. If there are any issues, please report them. Of course, If you comment 'options SMP' in the config, you'll get the old behavior back (like it was before that commit).

On 10/26/2010 21:52, Jan Lentfer wrote: I installed the 2.8.1 iso on a VM and it seems that it boots into an SMP kernel, regardless of what option I choose. I've fixed the bug in my local tree. It seems to be a CD9660 issue (thanks to Samuel J. Greear for helping with bug hunting). UFS (and hence our USB images) doesn't have it. I guess it has to do with the dots in the directory names (like, kernel.GENERIC) which CD9660 doesn't like. Also I found it somewhat unusual that if I choose to boot the Install-CD with SMP Kernel, SMP kernel is not default on the installed system afterwards, but UP is and I still have to choose SMP in the loader. My expectation is different. I have also added this feature to the installer (locally as well) and am testing it at the moment. Will report back later. Sascha

Re: USB image
On 9/30/2010 3:40, Tron wrote: Thanks Dylan, it is clear now. However, given your example of those other Linux ditro's, I am wondering why the DF group decided to build their images this way if there is an alternative. I mean if DF seriously wants to expand its ranks the best way is from the herds of Windows users and most of them know nothing about Unix. So the easier the route to see what DF can do - the more likely is someone to put in the effort. With this USB example alone: first, a newbie has to get the USB image, second realize (probably the hard way 'cause there is no mention of this on the download page) that the writing app is completely different from the one they use to write their CD images with and ultimately see that even though the DF image is small he can't move anything else onto the flash disk (which may be particularly frustrating if they only have the big one they just bought)... I think it is easy to see how many novices may get discouraged with DF and give up almost before they began. Fortunately, I am strongly motivated, have been to DF's IRC channel before and have finally succeeded in signing up on this help list (which also wasn't the most straight forward thing ever... and could not have happened without my knowledge of IRC). My point is, I think you are a great bunch of guys who have done one hell of a job, but if you want to attract not just the most experience computer users, the route from A-B, never mind from A-Z should be easier. Let's be realistic here. Right now, we don't have the manpower it takes to make DragonFly appealing to the herds of Windows users which know nothing about Unix. I'm sure it would take much much more than just having an easier way to get our USB image onto a USB stick from Windows. If that step were easier (and I'm not saying it shouldn't be) Windows users without a clue about Unix will then just give up one step later after they boot the system and land at the command line. I think someone wanting to switch from Windows to a free alternative that mostly feels like Windows and doesn't require much Unix knowledge is much better off with one of the Linux distros that try to appeal to this clientel. Again, I'm not saying we shouldn't improve, nor do I harbor some elitist attitude. I'm just saying that going really down that road requires a lot more work than we are capable (and willing) to do, as things are. We need to set goals which we can realistically achieve.

In your /usr/pkg/etc/mk.conf? PKG_RCD_SCRIPTS=yes But the next line is RCD_SCRIPTS_DIR=/usr/pkg/share/examples/rc.d So if I set that to /etc/rc.d, then they'll go to /etc/rc.d when I install the packages? Yeah, if RCD_SCRIPTS_DIR isn't set in /usr/pkg/etc/mk.conf, then /etc/rc.d should be the default. Sascha -- http://yoyodyne.ath.cx
